Just chiming in.

Be careful where you place an entry containing the name "stash" because it reads a lot like "trash" (no pun intended, I like the stach idea!)
I personally would place at least one completely differently named action between stash and trash. Just to avoid accidental "I wanted to put it on the stash, but misclicked and now it's in the trash" cases. The downside is that it looks rather odd (due to it not being sorted by alphabet anymore).

So i suppose:
---------------
Copy to stash
Rename
Move to trash
---------------

Also, regarding the "copy" in that line (Copy to stash). Isn't that a bit misleading? I thought the stash contained meta data about a file, but not a copy of it, right? If that's still the case then something like "Add to stash" might be better fitting, though still not ideal. I admit that picking a proper name for this is tricky!
